Democratic Socialism for Russia and China too

Russians still fond of Lenin

  Capitalism is for Russia just what it is here for the American working class- a complete economic and political failure.

   As a critical supporter of " socialist " Democrat Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont I think that " democratic socialism " can work here in the United States.

   I also think it can work in Russia and China. Does Bernie Sanders call for " political revolution " resonate in the hearts and minds of the Russian people and the Chinese people ? Do these hundreds of millions just love capitalism ? 

    Just google this question : " Was Karl Marx Right ? " . After the collapse of the Soviet Union shallow right wing " intellectuals " around the world wrongly assumed that global capitalism had an eternal reprieve.

   What deep thinking: in a universe where everything comes into existence and passes out of existence- in a world of constant change- somehow human history culminates in the " free market " and Ayn Rand's " Virtue of Selfishness " ?

    It seems that capitalism " works " - but only for the ONE PERCENT- not for working class people anywhere, not for the wage slaves .

  Slavery also worked- for centuries, for the slave masters.

  Was Karl Marx right ? You can bet on it !

   As for Vladimir Lenin , he was certainly the greatest revolutionary of all time. Next year the world will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Russian Revolution - " Ten Days that Shook the World ".
